I remember that other Reuters story about Senator Clinton being booed at the 9/11 benefit.

Wait, no I don't.

That's funny...neither do I.

Must have been a hurried casting call from the DNC or they could have mustered more than a few hundred. Or maybe the budget for hiring protestors is a little light this quarter. Still, with help from the media, the libs can pump up this small crowd into a virtual groundswell.

Reportedly Mrs. King acquiesced to the president's visit. Is the grave site private property? If not, how could Mrs. King keep anyone away who wanted to pay their respects? And why should she want to? I wonder what happened to the wreath the president layed after he left.

Viacom/Sumner Redstone/Murray Rothstein covered for 'The Beast' ---9/11 Concert.

That is why Hillary will possibly be Prez, the lamestream media promotes this "woman".

Please freepers, get behind dfu! It is SO IMPORTANT!

The Project!

This is about paying tribute to someone who had a tremendously positive influence in shaping the world that we live in today...

He did?! How?

[DCPatriot]

Good one!

Bush should know to bring pork chops. People want pork chops. Jesse Jackson said so.

Oh, I bet Bush STOLE all the people's pork chops! That must be the problem. Bush is a pork chop thief! He is NOT MY NEIGHBOR and a pork chop thief. /bubbling sarcasm off

Nothing is sacred to Democrats.

The protesters Lease-a-crowd® carried signs with slogans like "Money for jobs and housing, not war" and "It's not a photo-op George."

[ladyinred]

What a sad legacy for MLK. I doubt he would approve of his grave site being exploited by the protesters in this way. No dignity, no shame.

>>>Bush Booed in Visit to Martin Luther King's Grave

No one should be surprised.

[AngryJawa]

Why in God's name does the President keep trying to throw a sop to people who will NEVER, EVER support him?

[Weimdog]

I like this from a similar post earlier today -

It's unfortunate how many people believe Democratic propaganda without bothering to investigate the facts.

From The Complete Book of American Presidents, by William DeGregorio (4th ed.), on George H. W. Bush:

In 1966 Bush ran as a moderate, stumping in black neighborhoods...His most courageous vote was for the Civil Rights Act of 1968, barring discrimination in the sale and rental of housing. The bill was so unpopular in his conservative district that he began receiving threatening letters. Greeted by an angry white audience at Memorial High School in Houston days after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., he called for an end to bigotry and challenged those present to justify denying equal housing opportunity to black soldiers returning from Vietnam. His impassioned plea turned the hall in his favor; he left to a standing ovation.

What a broken record.

"It's not a photo-op George."

Yes, it was.

And everyone knows it.

I see the left is doing its darnedest to smooth over race relations in this country, NOT!

[cynicom]

"Bush is seeking to improve his standing among black voters before the November presidential election, after winning less than 10 percent of the African-American vote in 2000"

The only way to obtain more black votes is to put them all on the Federal payroll. It is time they started voting for something besides handouts.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Thank you protesters for making the South look uncivilized to the world. Plays right up to the stereotype crowd.

[mrfixit514]

Bush should have never went there. This is just pandering to the black vote. The Kings have never worked an honest day in their lives. They do not deserve to be honored.
